Hi all,


I am part of a group of tutors who run foreign-language playgroups. We have had success with our French and German groups, and are thinking of launching a Mandarin group in the East Dulwich/Peckham area if there is sufficient interest.


In line with our current groups, it would be led by a native speaker and trained tutor, and would be very relaxed and friendly. We would like to welcome parents with all levels of Mandarin, but with circle time tailored to those just starting out with the language so that they can learn songs, rhymes and chants alongside their little ones and practice at home if they wish.


It would be amazing to have your thoughts on the group - is it something that would be of interest? Are there specific things that you would like/hate to see included? Where and when would be good in terms of venue and time? Any feedback would be awesome!


Many thanks in advance,

Lucy

Hi Lucy

We would definitely be interested for our 4 year old who starts school in September (so midweek school hours wouldn't be good for us). He's got quite a bit of mandarin vocab (from living previously in Singapore), which we're trying to maintain. Would be keen to keep in touch with you about your playgroup idea. Thanks

Hi Jellybeanse,


I've replied to the others on the thread in individual PMs, sorry! We haven't quite had the interest we would need to set up a playgroup just yet so we've put the idea on hold for the time being. We'd love to hear from anyone who has an interest in learning Mandarin though, and would be very happy to run a smaller, more bespoke group if there was interest. You can find us at www.struckfluent.com.


Many thanks!

Lucy

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
